Beyond your standard scuba kit, you’ll be rocking primary and backup lights. Think ultimate visibility, crystal-clear comms, and underwater navigation that’s locked on.

Hell yes, it’s safe—when you play by the rules. We’ll drill you on planning, communication, and how to own the underwater environment, so you can night dive like a pro.

This course is two mind-blowing night dives, back-to-back, same day. Get ready for the rush.
